Clam and Oyster Juice
Ingredients
Directions
Wash the clams or oysters and remove all bits of shell.
Cut them into several pieces and heat for a few minutes in their own juice.
Strain through muslin, ensuring no sand passes through.
Serve while hot. Optionally, dilute with an equal quantity of boiling water.
These juices may be frozen.
